Shorts program, including:
Live Crying Competition
Two Cars One Night | Taika Waititi | New-Zealand | 2003 | 12'
In a dreary parking lot, a little boy fights the feelings he’s developing for a tough little girl with all his might. Before the New Zealand director Taika Waititi won the Pluk de Nacht audience award in 2007 with Eagle vs Shark, he made this touching short film.
Vera | Thomas Korthals Altes | The Netherlands | 2008
You’re not supposed to touch art in a museum. Usually this goes for the accompanying attendant as well. But still. What does that man or woman in the corner think all day? How do they keep themselves upright? And does he/she like chocolate? Thomas Korthals Altes made a poignant portrait about it.
This American Life - 3 shorts about love | Ira Glass | USA | 2009
A selection of documentary shorts from the TV series of This American Life, including the Chris Ware animation Every Marriage is a Courthouse and the story of Joe, a teenage boy who will never have sex with a girl.
Can we talk | Jim Owen | UK | 2009
"Can we talk?" That simple little question has been the beginning of countless awkward and painful conversations in which men and women ended their relationship. Jim Owen paints a portrait of one of those conversations. And no, it isn't pretty.
Lila | Broadcast Club | France | 2009
The love between boys, girls, men, women, children and parents - stylishly documented on a typical summer holiday camping site.
